    Having TV on during rain

    Erm no? Any modern and half competent installations are electrically well grounded which means there's no major risk of thunderstorms damaging equipment or devices. Same thing applies to fiber. These are well insulated. So unless your stuff is ancient you probably don't run the risk of damaging...

    FS: Headphone [Brand new] Oneplus Bullets Wireless Z (Bass Edition) - Reverb Red

    Replied via DM. TL;DR At the moment I'm not willing to deviate too much from the asking price considering its age and close to zero usage. If it's a local deal we can chat and work something out for a quick sale.

    Need suggestion to upgrade Ram for my laptop

    It's generally not advisable to mix and match RAM sticks. The reason being if one of the sticks is bottlenecked for whatever reason and "slows down", the other stick is also forced to run at a lower performance level which will affect overall performance. Either purchase a stick identical to the...

    FS: Laptop Asus Core i5 from 2019 with WIN 10, 1 TB HDD, 256GB SSD, MX 150 GPU & warranty remaining

    Not OP but I think https://www.amazon.in/Asus-Vivobook-X510UN-EJ460T-15-6-inch/dp/B07KMB8TWT is the Amazon listing for this particular model. i5 8250U and MX 150 (2GB) although I agree CPU-Z and GPU-Z screenshots should have been included.

    Laptops Laptop always plugged in

    I have kept my laptop plugged in continuosly for about 4 years now. It's a gaming laptop and battery life is practically non-existent anyways. While YMMV, I have personally faced no issues keeping it plugged in 24x7. Of course I would assume you're using the stock charger that came out of the box.

Fun fact Xiaomi...

    Storage Solutions Crystalmark shows Current Pending Sector Count, need HDD recommendations

    48C is a bit on the hotter side but within operating range. Make sure your cooling solution is sufficient for the case (preferably ensure net positive pressure). That said if the drive unmounts randomly then most likely its might be a bad/loose cable as mentioned previously. If your drive is on...
